paris, at the foot of the eiffel tower so i thought, maybe it's not so crazy, marsh she is become there. so i looked around paris for any tall buildings i could find around the eiffel tower, and there aren't that many. so i started knocking on doors very persistently, spoked to a concierge, she said, no, she's not here. she's next door. >> but that was not the end of it. of course -- i mean in some way, in the book, she is portrayed a little bit like marlene deitrick. won't talk to or see anyone, and you're story is about finding her, meeting her, and also trying to capture who she is. so, it was a long process of being in touch with her,. >> almost lake courtship. i tried to -- at first i tried to impress her and seem very business like and smart, but she just put me in my place immediately because i was young and what could i possibly know. >> this on the phone. >> all on the phone, exactly. so, the first time madame nhu called me, i wasn't expecting her to call. i'd been writing her letters for months. i had knocked on her door that day. i had done everything except for see her, and she called me out of the blue. so, she dictated very early on the terms of our relationship. when she would call. who she would leave messages with. how i should address her. very specific things. and in fact in the first conversation we had, she was really curious about not so much me but why was i interested in her? who in your family works for the cia? who is the government agent. i'm like, no one. i'm just curious. so, slowly i -- part of it was the -- the first day she called me, my husband and i had been trying to get pregnant, and it had been a long process. that morning i had taken a pregnancy test and found out i was pregnant. so i was overjoyed, and before i could wake up my husband to tell him. madame nhu is calling me on the phone. so i'm like -- but so part of this i think making her -- getting her humanity out was, i told her early on, you know, that this happened, and this sort of coincidence, and right away she was like, oh, it's not coincidence, it's a sign from god, right? this is members -- is meant to be. and it developed into a very ma ternal -- maternal thing, and she breast fed her children for at least six months and was very previous size about all of those things i wouldn't imagine the dragon lady to be. >> before we get to the dragon lady narrative, i'm just curious, how many people in the audience actually know who she is? madame nhu? oh, my. that's quite a lot. that's not your typical readers, i don't think, these days, but who knows. so, can you tell in few short sentences a framework who she is and why she is important in the vietnam history? >> sure. well, madame nhu was the first lady of south vietnam from 1954 to 1963. first lady on a bit of a technicality. her brother-in-law was the president. and diem was a very moral, very catholic, married to his country, really, so he never took a wife. so instead it was madame nhu was his younger brother's wife, and his younger brother did all the politicking diem couldn't or wouldn't do. all of this unsavory business of running a country with an iron fist. so everything from running the secret police, to recruiting youth and running the political party, and madame nhu was the fails of the regime, because she was beautiful, the hostess, smart, well-spoken, and so i think initially the media was charmed by her. she was so young. when she became first lady, she was 30 years old. >> but in some ways she -- i hate to put it this way -- her career went up in flames, pun intended. >> literally. >> because of the -- what she actually said and this is about that some way unfortunately is what she is remembered by. >> absolutely. so, in 1963 is when she got the most press. she was on the cover of the saturday evening post, "newsweek," "life magazine" and it wasn't for anything good. it was as andrew was saying in the summer of 1963 there was a buddhist crisis in vietnam, and the buddhists were speaking out against the diem regime, and the regime was not responding in a way that was very good p.r., madame nhu said, a month is self-immolating, we'll have a barbecue. she was like a marie antoinette and came across as cruel, and all of americans knew vietnam in this loose way, oh, yeah, we're helping these people, saving them from communism and doing this good thing, and here was suddenly a very ugly, dark side to the regime that the americans were helping. >> one thing i didn't know was that she actually was not raised catholic. and in fact converted when she married monin nhu. i always thought being french, as she was, a french citizen -- she was a french citizen -- >> her father was. >> that they naturally should have converting to catholicism but in fact they were buddhists and is interesting. a lot of vietnamese families are split and the religious divide is part of it. my father, for instance, was raised catholic, and my mom was raised buddhist, and there's a lot of family that is split along that line, but to see her being so procatholic and supportive of a regime that creaked down on buddhism was shocking for somebody that was raises buddhist. can you talk about the religious divisions in vietnam during that time? >> a little bit. yes, madame nhu was raised in hanoi for most of her life. born in hanoi. went way down to the southern -- very tip of southern vietnam, and then went back to hanoi, and i hadn't known until i was researching the book, she was actually north vietnamese by birth and heritage, because the regime that was the south vietnamese regime, but the religion -- she condition verted at her marriage, which was in 1943, and madame nhu's mother was a devout buddhist, and didn't -- there was a lot of tension between mother and daughter, and the fact that madame nhu married a catholic ex-her mother looked a little bit down at her for that, and i think that madame nhu was, now i can start fresh and not have to worry about that parental judgment all the time. nhu always teased his wife and called her his little heathen because she was knew to catholicism. baptized on the day before her -- the night before her wedding was her baptism show, liked to tease her, but later in life, i think for madame nhu, that was her defining characteristic, how she really made sense of her life, was by putting it into this religious framework. >> but she was also involved in writing law during the -- part of that has to do with her own insecurity. you discuss that in the book. it's interesting because she actually had her own sister incarcerated because of part of the reason has to do with her sister wanting a divorce. >> yes. so this is sort of the scuttle but in saigon, was that -- so, madame nhu was elected to the senate. she was a member of the legislature, but of course no one would say no to her. she came up with a law, people were quick to pass it. and madame nhu had some very good points. i don't think all of her laws were totally reactionary. she saw the communist were making great gains by taking women seriously, and until madame nhu changed the law, women in south vietnam were not able to own property or have their own bank account. so ma damn new made progression in that she saw a section of the population being excluded. she also saw that the communists were doing a good job of taking the war seriously. so as more and more foreigners, americans, came into south vietnam, madame nhu didn't want it to seem like it was a party city. she wanted people to be like, hey, we're at war, let's take this seriously. so she banned prostitution, she wanted gambling, banned dancing, banned underwire bras, all sorts of stuff, and the one sort of big thing was she banned divorce. and the theory was at the time that she was trying to prevent her sister, her older sister, from getting a divorce. and the rumor was, madame nhu would never acknowledge this -- the rumor was that when madame nhu wouldn't grant her -- outright divorce in the country, meant couldn't get a divorce. she slit her wrists and went running through the palace and madame nhu had her imprisoned in the hospital. >> which is interesting. because vietnam is full of rumors and there's a lot of this sort of narrative that goes around. and part of that had to do with the fact that there's no way to validate certain things. but how would you characterize -- you mention in your book about her own feeling of being isolated, and her husband was a fill -- fill -- he actually had a girlfriend. >> i think we all could be guilty of rewriting our own history in our heads. i remember what i did yesterday in a very positive light, but the guy whose seat i stole on the bus might not feel the same way. by the time madame nhu was in her 80s, she remembered her life very specifically and it was a devoted wife and everything i did was for my husband. but the diary i found that she wrote -- >> that was my next question. go ahead. >> i tell you about this diary. in this diary she -- all of that kind of rose-colored glass re reflection is gone and talked about how hard it was to be married to somebody who was trying to build this new political philosophy, also apparently did have someone else on the side, someone that madame nhu thought was below him and certainly below her. so, these little accusations came out in the journal. >> yes. there's a lot of tidbits that i find titillating because there's so much sex going on in the book. it's not a surprise but the fact that there is some recording of it or some observation of it. it's interesting, including this conservative family that madame nhu came from, which is the parents -- her parents who are really upstanding from this really respectful and the mother is from royal family, but in fact the mother is having sex with a bunch of different people, which is like, wow. >> that was great. the french are very good at this. >> of course the french are. >> when i was in the archives in france, i would find references to madame nhu's mother having slept with the right frenchman at the right time, and then when the japanese were coming in, having slept with the right japanese men at the right time, and taking japanese lessons and going to din with the japanese. so it's very possible that the french man who was writing it down was -- had his advanced suspended and was bitter and so decided that would be her legacy. but this came from several sources and she used what she had to save her family. >> sex in all kind of royal courts, down to presidency, is the norm, but the fact that the french are going these parties and recording it is shocking. and that's my other question. since you're half french and you're viewing vietnam through the french lens as much as an american one, what is it that the french know about vietnam that the americans still don't? >> oh, good question. i'm not sure that that question is still true today. i think that there's a lot of know stall -- nostalgia in france -- my mother was born in 1946. so for her growing up, she grew up learning that indo-china was part of france, and feeling quite a bit of pride in that empire. and to think that -- i'm born in '76 so 30 years later, and that's totally bewillerring to me some could have assumed that. i'm not sure the question today, what did the french know or not know, it's misplaced colonial nostalgia. >> let's get back to the role of powerful women in the world. politics of the '60s. she seemed such an anomaly in a world of men, and even jackie onassis, jacqueline kennedy, looked down at her for being involved in politics, it was not lady-like, and certainly among first ladies of asia during that time, the idea of this woman with a gun and speak her mind regardless of what the men were saying, and even tell the president to shut up, was something really shocking, not just to asian but the world in a way, and yet there she was, sort of blabbering her ideas without any sense of inhibition. >> before madame nhu there was madame shanclek. she was well-opinion and had a feeling for what americans and americans were looking for in a first lady, and madame nhu didn't have that. i think madame nhu would have looked for her place in the world but there was no role model no shoes for her to step into. so she had to blunder her way through it, and the dynamic with the kennedy family and the nor family in saying gone is fascinating. two catholic families, family regimes, jfk and his family, and diem and his family, and then madame nhu, this first lady and jackie kennedy in the white house. and in these interviews, jackie is asked about madame nhu, she says, oh, she's horrible. she is everything that jack found just ugly because she wasn't sub -- submissive, and wasn't quiet, and jackie described her own marriage as an asian marriage, what that means. she was subservients to her husband. >> when diem was murdered, kennedy was murdered not very long after, and there's this letter that madame nhu sent to her because she felt betrayed by the americans. talk about the all right and -- about the letter and the bitterness. >> goodness. where do i start? first i guess for those of you that don't know, kennedy gave the ok for a coup in vietnam, for a regime change in vietnam, and there were several falls -- talls -- false starts and the coup didn't happen until november. she was in the united states at the time and no official would meet with her. the only publish official was the director of police in new york city because he had to guarantee her safety. people were throwing things at her. so, she felt really slighted, that here she was first lady and no one was paying any attention or sort of giving her her proper due, and she knew a regime change in vietnam could not have happened without the ok by the kennedy administration. so she felled betrayed and made theirs eerie proclamation as she is leaving the country, i'm paraphrasing, something like, i predict that the story with vietnam is only at its beginning. america will have this long history with vietnam. and she was right. we were there another decade. >> where is the irony which is she is vilified in a lot of ways in the media, and yet she was right about the future and america's relationship with vietnam. >> yes. and she said things that were hard to say at the time. she accused the buddhists, who were rise can against the diem regime, of being loosely organized and ripe for communist infiltration, which the americans would find out later, at least in '66 and '68 that would come to be the case. the just called it early and inappropriately. she also accused the american press of being infiltrated by the communists. actually i'll use her favorite word. intoxicated. everybody was intoxicated by the communists. and in that case, too, she actually wasn't so wrong. there were informers working for the americans that were part of the communist system. >> very famous one, who actually -- stanley tarnow. >> yes. >> i was thinking of her this morning, and then saw lady gaga video, and i thought, in a strange way, she was the lady gaga of politics of the '60s because of the things she is saying that is so shocking. barbecue monks. and that sort of thing shocked the world, but people are no longer shocked by lady gaga so i was thinking of, had she had good public relation and in a different context, maybe the courses of events in vietnam might have even changed? she influenced so much of the public opinion. can you talk about the context of this now in relationship to her being a woman back then. >> with madame nhu have tweeted? 140 characters. it would have gotten her in a lot of trouble or saved her in some sense. maybe not lady gaga, maybe like lindsay lohan. madame nhu was this first kind of paparazzi -- not first but definitely one of the few political people that the media was so fascinated with her, just kind of daily -- what was she wearing, saying, that kind of thing. >> let's get back to your relationship with her. because i find it really interesting that in the end you actually never really met her in person. how does one write a book about someone who has spent countless amount of hours dreaming and thinking and obsessing with that person and actually never met her before she died. and then -- how is that relationship and how does that inform your writing? >> well, i think -- i always thought i would meet madame nhu, and when i started this book, and finally start talking to her, we would seat up elaborate meeting plans, and all on her terms. i know this church around the corner and it's dark and meet by the st. joseph statue. there's a park, really discreet. no one will see us. these cloak and dagger things and she would ask me to bring my children, and i did, sort of thinking that would make me seem sweet and naive and like i wasn't going to hurt her, because i real ya was curious. but she stood me up at each of these things, and i -- she always said, i'm really sorry. there was always a reason. and really, i had no power in this relationship. she was dictating the terms, and so if i wanted to continue to talk to her, i knew it would be on her terms there was a time when madame nhu stopped accepting my phone calls and stopped speaking to me. that was because of -- i tack bat it in the book. i asked her something she thought was inappropriate or in fact i tooled her that something was -- i told her something that was inappropriate and she hung up on me and we didn't talk between for a year. so right before she died -- she died in -- easter sunday, 2011. it's so perfect for her. because she really -- like i said she was so catholic, and believed in the resurrection, and for thor pass away on easter was just perfect for her. before she died she new the end was coming and sent me her memoirs, and she had written three volumes, each of them several hundred pages, and they were all about sort of the mystery of life and it was totally dense with biblical reference and things i couldn't really understand. but then peppered in there were these narratives of her life as a child. so at the end i feel like i kind of got what i wanted from her, which was in her own words, recollection of her life, and the meaning of her life, which even though i didn't necessarily understand it, she believed very strongly that she was predestined to have led this life. >> her life is quite tragic in many ways because not only did she lose a country but she lost a husband, and then her children died from accidents two of the four. a lot of vietnamese talk about her being cursed for the role she played during the war. but what do you mak of that? what does she make of her open tragedy? >> back to the kennedy thing. it's like -- people talk about the kennedy curse. there's the nhu family curse. certainly madame nhu had a very tragic life, so first in '63 she was disopenned by her parents who she wasn't getting along with anyways. then her husband is killed in a coup. a couple years later her oldest beloved daughter dies in a car crash. and things keep getting worse in 1986 her parents lived in georgetown and were murdered by her brother. so, -- and then only just last year, in 2012, her youngest daughter, the daughter she would dress her up in these little paratrooper outfits and dress her up like a little soldier, and she passed away as well in an auto accident in italy. so took a really bad chain of events. >> would you like to read passage, perhaps something about your own relationship and your struggle to connect with center. >> sure. yeah. i'd be happy to. i do want to say that this book was -- it was hard to figure out the structure of the book because i wanted to be as candid as i could about madame nhu and how she played me, and how she was this unreliable narrator but the first person i could talk to about her life. so i tell madame new's story, tell my story of finding her, and i hope i tell a story also of those years of the vietnam war that are confusing to those of my generation. this is a section about when i thought we might meet. we should meet, madame nhu said on the phone after tommy's birth. the first time she expressed any willingness to meet my face to face. she must he around i cooperate be conspiring to hurt her if i was with a baby so the insisted i bring tommy. paris be all right? i was going to visit my relatives and a stop in paris would be on the way. i didn't tell her i was visiting the french colonial archives in the south of france to see what other history i could pull up. i knew how firmly she believed her version of the truth should be adequate and report unchallengedded when with obvious cracks. our meeting was to take place in a catholic church not far from her apartment. we would meet in the nave in front of st. joseph statue at 10:00 a.m. then we can go to the park across the street to talk. it will be very discreet. when i got inside the church the doors closed, shut ought the bright sun. i thought i should be worried. i reminded myself i was just introducing tommy to a little old lady. she had been the dragon lady but has also been a mother four times over. i forced myself to focus on that aspect but i was ill at ease. i told myself i was nervous about making a good impression, and then she stands me up when we poke next she didn't

paris. >> they fled to paris so they wouldn't have to deal with the insurance company. >> i think that's the most ro n romantic thing i have seen in a long time. honey, i love you so much. i will destroy an entire building for you. >> you get ready and there's a guy hanging out there? >> i think it is very ambitious and cool. >>> other stories making headlines to tell you about on this sunday morning. a huge murderer on the loose in alabama after breaking out of prison. more than 100 law enforcement officials including u.s. marshalls are on the hunt for three inmates from the alabama county jail. two accused of capital murder. three inmates attacked a guard after one pretended to be sick and took the guard's keys and cell phone. it is believed the inmates were picked up by a car and tracker dogs have lost their trail. >>> and an 11-year-old girl is back home in arkansas after hailing a cab and trying to run away to florida. alexis waller said she took $10,000 from her grandmother, snuck out of her house and asked the taxi driver to take her to jacksonville. she wanted to see a boy she met on vacation. the cab driver agreed and drove eight hours to atlanta before they caught up. the cab driver said she didn't realize alexis was that young. >>> and a nativity scene in front of a town hall ruin ed replaced by snowmen and reindeer. they were forced to remove it by complaints fromanti-religious groups. now even the kids are outraged. >> christmas is not about snowmen and reindeer, christmas trees and lights. it's about christ. >> the mayor says he'll fight to move the nativity back on to the town property next year. >>> and it's almost christmas. meaning it's time for thousands of people to go to the bars dressed up like santa clause. >> whoo! >> massive bar crawl known as santa-con making its way through new york city streets. mrs. santa clause and reindeer were seen cramming into any pub that would let them in. the santas usually drink too much eggnog. they are not just drinking eggnog. they were all over the city yesterday. >> civil libertarians were fighting back to shut the whole thing down. saying you have to clean your act up. so they were nicer yesterday. >> eggnog is potent, by the way. >>> residents are cleaning up after a pineapple express storm slams california. camarillo springs was destroyed by a rare mudslide. >> and a rare tornado ripped off several roofs and knocked down trees in southern los angeles. >> rick mireichmuth, what is th story today?

supposedly if they say yes, then they are let go. and first of all, something to celebrate, these children loved god enough to say i'm not going to betray my faith. and they die. it's tragic, it's also in my opinion, a beautiful sign of love and faith that helps me want to be a better man, to be a better follower of jesus. but what i would love to see is our president and other leaders stand up, international leaders, and keep reminding us of what's going on. it goes in waves. you hear it for about two or three days when there's enough outrage coming from the people. but how about leadership to say, this is what we need to continue to do as an international community?

>> back in september he sent an e-mail saying, i know this is being hacked. i'm sure you're watching this. we are going to double source this. i'm sure everyone is reading this and went on to talk about something else. he was pretty aware that some people were publicly looking at his e-mail. >> little did he know, it was the north koreans. >> there's also an e-mail from seth rogan from amy pascal saying change your movie because north korea doesn't like it. and sony bows to the command of the north korean dictatorship. it turns out they are running sony, apparently. that's unbelievable to me! >>> also, we also learned from some of the e-mails, some of the women actresses are paid far less in some of the movies, like jennifer garner. >> that can't be true because sony is not paying women less, are they? aren't they for pay parody and all that? >> no, they are not. including the fact they made less than the men in that film. >> i don't believe it. they are all obama donors. they wouldn't pay less. >> speaking of obama donors, she called reverend al sharpton the day after this came out to apologize. >> not these e-mails but the ones talking about the president and how he only liked african-american comedians li. >> i have never apologized to al sharpton and i'm not going to. >>> stick around, jeb bush could be running in 2016. we'll tell you what he says. >>> would your kids eat this? they might if an ipod is on the line. >> they put that in the shape of a smiley face. hard it can be...how ...to breathe with copd? it can feel like this. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled... ...copd maintenance treatment... ...that helps open my airways for a full 24 hours. you know, spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells,... you can get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. sfx: blowing sound. does breathing with copd... ...weigh you down? don't wait ask your doctor about spiriva handihaler. >>> overnight, a government shuts down and put to a stop. members of the senate voting 56-40 passing a $1.1 trillion spending bill. >> the bill is keeping the government running through next september and is on its way to the paresident's desk. what should we plan on happening next? >> does this mean there's nothing republicans can do anyway about the president's executive amnesty? >> i think that's exactly right. i think their feeling is, you know, better to try to deal with it in the majority of the house and senate starting next year. this funding bill gives enough money for the entire government to run until next september, except for the department of homeland security which overseas immigration policy. and that's only funded until the end of february. so i think you're going to see in the first two months of the new congress with the new republican majority efforts to see if there are ways that they can undo the president's executive action. but it's going to be awfully difficult. you know, justice is going to be very hard. it's hard to defund a decision not to defer, not to deport people. there's not a lot of money spent on not deporting people. >> there are two narratives i found interesting out of this. one is ripped inside the democratic party with nancy pelosi calling members of party to vote for it. and you have members of the republican party saying speaker boehner squandered the midterm election victories. what do you make of the two narratives? >> i think they are both exactly right. there are splits. we have known for some time, of course, and have reported it a lot about the split inside the republican party. we saw it in the senate where ted cruz and some of the tea party wings of the gop went against mitch mcconnell who left the senate on friday and thought they for done for the weekend. then ted cruise tried to go after the immigration executive order. and for us, this whole weekend session, manager connell had to come back embarrassed. so that continues. for the first time, we really saw a lot of the left wing of the democratic party defying the president. really led by liberal senator elizabeth warren in the senate who went after the provision in the spending bill, a rider attached to it to lack the financial regulations on wall street. and she got tremendous support in the house up to the minority leader, including the democratic leader, nancy pelosi. what is so interesting is this bill passed the senate and the house as well on a bipartisan basis with both democrats and republicans who were standing up against sort of the wings that the more extreme it logical parts of their party. which raises the question, are we going to see more centrist establishment coalitions of democrats and republicans working against the far left and the far right of the parties? >> chris, also the cia interrogation report is a hot topic. you have guests on that today? >> we do. we'll be all over that, anna. first of all, we'll have a fascinating debate about the program. was it torture? was it effective? does this mislead the white house and congress? a debate between sheldon whitehouse, a senator from rhode island who was involved in the report, and carl rove in the bush white house when all this went down. and i think a fascinating interview with jose rodriguez. he was the man who actually came up with the interrogation program in 2002 after they caught abu zabada. we'll talk to him and see if it was torture. they say they thought he was in the room during interrogation. we'll ask him what he said and whether he objects. >> chris, great to see you this morning. >> bye, guys. >>> coming up from terrorists and mass killings taking the middle east over. it's pretty awful. just don't insult the terrorists. the new rules some soldiers have to follow. >>> and do you love playing with the green army men toys from back in the day? now they will ruin your kids' lives. and that's not all. we'll talk about it, coming up. [ female announcer ] hands were made for talking. feet...tiptoeing. better things than the pain, stiffness, and joint damage of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist decide on a biologic, ask if xeljanz is right for you. xeljanz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can relieve ra symptoms, and help stop further joint damage. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. don't start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz and routinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. one pill, twice daily, xeljanz can reduce ra pain and help stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. ask about xeljanz. even without methotrexate. why does it feel like all or nothing?
